Work-Study Waitlist

Work-Study funds are extremely limited and awarded in early Summer for the upcoming Fall. If you do receive a Work-Study offer, you will have 3 weeks to accept the offer. All unaccepted offers will be canceled after 3 weeks and new awards will be offered to students on the Waitlist. If you are determined eligible early in the award year but did not get an award, you will receive an email informing you how to add your name to the Waitlist. Check your email and WEBSTAR frequently.

Maximum Timeframe Standards

Although Satisfactory Academic Progress standards are checked once annually at the end of Spring Semester (or at each semester for students in programs less than or equal to one year), we are required to monitor the Maximum Timeframe standard throughout the year. If at any point during the aid year it is determined that you have met or exceeded the Maximum Timeframe allowed for your program, you will be determined ineligible for financial aid. You may be eligible to petition if you have changed programs or are enrolled in a high unit major. If however it is determined you cannot complete your program within the Maximum Timeframe, you will not be eligible for additional aid for that program. Please refer to the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy on the IVC Financial Aid Website for additional information.

Elimination of Freeze Date

Effective Fall 2015, there will be no "freeze date". Financial Aid disbursements will be based on your enrollment status which is determined by the courses you are currently attending. Enrollment status will be adjusted for late starting classes when those classes are scheduled to begin. Enrollment status will be adjusted down for courses that you drop before the 60% point of the term and funds paid for those courses may be need to be repaid. Please refer to the Financial Aid Disbursement section on our website for more information and the specific payment dates for each semester
